The Essentials to Know About the "Boost X" Software
- Intelligent Dynamic Saturation: "stateful" algorithm that adapts in real time to the signal for consistently accurate drive.
- Mix Balance Preserved: perceived loudness compensation, even when sources are heavily driven.
- Impeccable Audio Quality: 16x oversampling and 7 types of saturation for rich, controlled harmonics.
- Simple Control and Modern Interface: wide "Amount" adjustment and resizable high-definition GUI.
What "Boost X" Is For
"Boost X" is a saturation/overdrive plugin designed to warm up, thicken, and bring out your tracks without increasing their volume. Ideal on vocals, synths, drums, guitars, or buses, it adds musical harmonics that help elements sit better in the mix. From subtle coloration to pronounced crunch, it offers a consistent response regardless of input level.
Main Features
Dynamic and Responsive Saturation
Unlike static saturations, "Boost X" continuously analyzes the signal intensity and applies the optimal amount of drive. Low-level sources can be pushed without level increase, while preserving attack and micro-dynamics.
Loudness Compensation
The algorithm automatically compensates perceived loudness so that A/B comparisons remain reliable. You hear more harmonics and presence, but the overall balance of your mix stays unchanged.
High-End Sound Quality
Oversampling up to 16x effectively reduces aliasing for a smoother rendering in the high frequencies. The 7 saturation flavors cover a wide palette, from analog warmth to more energetic distortion.
Fast Workflow
A wide "Amount" knob allows precise intensity adjustment, while the resizable HD interface adapts to your workspace for optimal readability during sessions.
